Define and evolve the corporate Artificial Intelligence strategy.
Design the AI adoption roadmap at an organizational level.
Define governance, control, and monitoring models for AI initiatives.
Establish standards, principles, and best practices for the use of AI.
Evaluate and select new AI platforms, technologies, and providers.
Lead the creation or evolution of the AI practice within the organization.
